I probably shouldn't

I probably shouldn't be writing this in my present state of mind but something irritated me and I am letting it out. I just visited a blog that posted a list of "no-no's" for blogs. This was a list of things that the blogger didn't like seeing on someone else's blog. This happened last year too. The person that posted last year visited my blog and told me the things that she didn't like and that I should change bc she wanted it to be a certain way.

Really?

My blog is my blog and I have it the way I like it. If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to read it. kwim? I blog as an outlet and as a way of posting reviews. I don't design my blog and write to please others. I will not change things bc someone else doesn't like them. I don't particularly care for music on blogs but I'm not going to say that they shouldn't be there bc I don't like it. It's their blog and they like it so they can have it.

Ugh it just frustrates me when that kind of thing happens. Because then a blogger that feels insecure about what they are doing thinks they have to change everything they do to please others and their blog is no longer a reflection of who they are.

I'm done with my rant.

Yes, I know that I am in a bad mood right now and my heart is hurting so I probably shouldn't be doing this. But I just had to get it out there.

The Starfish Story

While walking on the beach one day, I saw a Starfish by the shore. And everywhere I looked it seemed, I saw a thousand more. Then what to my surprise appeared? A boy of nine or ten. And as the Starfish washed ashore, he threw them back again. "One Starfish won't make a difference son; You can't change this situation." He stooped and picked up one more Starfish, then looking right at me, "I can make a difference for this one, sir" and returned it to the sea. So I went and gathered all my friends, my brothers and my cousins. We joined in with that little boy and saved Starfish by the dozens. There are still many to be rescued-many "Starfish" on life's shore. And you can make a difference too...by saving just one more. C.C. Milbrandt
